I purchased this camp style shovel many years ago at an estate sale. The handle had been painted a bright blue.

I saw it hanging on the garage wall the other day and decided to give it a makeover.

Here is the other side of the shovel.

After cleaning up the shovel a bit, I brushed Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Gravel Road onto the metal shovel head, and Dixie Belle in Caviar on the wooden handle. Chalk paint sticks to metal very well.

This sunflower stencil from Hobby Lobby is perfect for the sunflower themed covered patio decor this season.

I cut the stencil down just a bit to tape it onto the back of the shovel head.

I pounced on the stencil using Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Colonel Mustard.

For the flower, I used Waverly Inspirations Chalk Paint in Hazelnut from Walmart.

I sprayed the entire shovel with several coats of Rustoleum Painters Touch Clear Spray Sealer.

I'm really happy with the way my sunflower shovel turned out!

I added a sunflower seed packet to the shovel with a magnet for additional interest.

I will be sharing my sunflower themed covered patio, with all of my sunflower and mustard paint decor, very soon!
